GLOBE, Session One: Bracing yourself for cultural shock and adaptation

GLOBE is designed for business professionals who are, or will be, interacting with other cultures at home or abroad. The goal is to reduce your risk of culture shock and become a more effective leader by learning the dos and don’ts of cross cultural communication. In its 13th year, GLOBE is facilitated by Dr. Cal Downs, CEO of Communication Management, Inc.

BRACING YOURSELF FOR CULTURAL SHOCK AND ADAPTATION

In our first GLOBE session we will dissect and evaluate the elements that make up cultural differences, particularly in a business setting. We will discuss differences in the perception of time, high vs. low context cultures, the role of laws and norms, and the traps language sets for us. We will also use case studies and current events to examine assumptions and how they shape our perceptions of the other 96% of world inhabitants.
